Abstract
Nature has provided immune system to protect the body from the invasions of Non-self-biological and/or chemicals including toxins. These non-self-items, called as antigens produce immune response in the body which in turn produce antibodies. These antibodies inactivate antigens by making antigen antibody complexes Due to various reasons, both genetic and environmental, the components of the lose the regulatory control and go in wrong assortment and instead of protecting the self they attack on the self itself. Sometimes due to attack of “non- self” immune system overreacts and produces “cytokine storm”.
